Furniture from FedEx boxes

Leftside Thumb Another project turning boxes in to something else. FedEx Furniture is furniture put together by empty FedEx Boxes, and held together by fedex packaging supplies. All of the furniture seen here is 100% functional. The couch is standing/sleeping approved, I sleep on the bed every night, I eat at the dining table, and I work at the desk almost 20 hours a day.

Now while this is a nice hack, you should consider that this might not be legal, given the fact that the boxes are owned by FedEx and they put them out only for use with their service.

The dinind set is pretty cool. I feel the fedex guys should actually thank/congratulate you for making such excellent and innovative use of their boxes. Really creative.

Talk about a firm mattress...but it is the ultimate in recycling. The only thing missing are FedEx box area rugs. They would at least be easier to make.
